Eaton GLS6 10 Grounding Bushing - Rigid/IMC, Threadless
Part Number: GLS6 10
Quick Summary
GLS6 10 grounding bushing is a reliable solution for terminating rigid/IMC conduits in industrial electrical installations. Project teams often struggle to achieve secure grounding that remains compliant while meeting demanding installation schedules. It carries NEC/CEC standards, is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, and features a 105°C temperature rating for reliability in hot environments. With an aluminum lug, threadless design, and a compact 2" trade size, it reduces weight and simplifies field assembly, delivering tangible cost and time savings for panels and enclosures. Designed for contractors and OEMs alike, it integrates smoothly with other Crouse-Hinds GLS fittings and supports streamlined procurement.

FAQs
Begin by selecting the GLS6 10 for the 2" rigid/IMC conduit run and confirm the #1/0–8 AWG conductor. Insert the conductor into the aluminum lug, align the bushing with the enclosure or conduit hub, and seat the bushing without threading. Since it is threadless, you ensure a snug fit by tightening adjacent hardware and verifying a solid electrical connection. Finally, inspect for proper clearance and test continuity to confirm a secure ground path.
Key specs include conduit type: rigid/IMC; lug material: aluminum; lug size: #1/0–8 AWG; trade size: 2 inches; maximum temperature rating: 105°C; body material: malleable iron; weight: 0.345 lb; and compliance with NEC/CEC for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. These parameters ensure reliable grounding performance across standard industrial electrical installations and enclosures.
Yes. The GLS6 10 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards, making it suitable for most non-hazardous industrial environments. This alignment helps ensure field installations meet regulatory requirements, reduces the need for alternative fittings, and simplifies procurement decisions for project teams working under these codes.
The threadless design eliminates threading operations, reducing installation time, tool wear, and the risk of thread damage in tight spaces. This benefit is especially valuable in confined enclosures or dense conduit bundles. It also simplifies replacement and inspection workflows, helping maintenance teams achieve faster grounding verification without specialized threading equipment.
